FEARLESS- Shoving U: South Lawn snafu ousts tenants
A lot of history is going to be demolished when UVA makes way for its South Lawn project– specifically, many of the apartments on Brandon Avenue. I have my own memories of the place; I lived in one of the "Carolinas" when I moved here in 1982. Those memories came back in force when I heard from Robert Stilling, who's being compelled, against his will, to move from his apartment at 415 Brandon.
In his emailed account of the dispute, Stilling states that tenants were notified last November that Wade Apartments had sold the building and that tenants would have to relocate.
"My neighbors and I resigned ourselves to moving," he writes, "and several of us signed new leases with Wade at apartments elsewhere."
He signed a lease for an efficiency on Wertland Avenue, but four months later, in March, he received notice on behalf of new owner UVA that tenants would, in fact, be able to renew their leases.
"I, for one," Stilling writes, "would never have signed a new lease with Wade had I known, four months earlier, that we had the option to renew."
Stilling complained to Wade and asked them to release him from the new lease. "I'm a poor graduate student," he claims, "and can't really afford to move if I don't have to."
I spoke to Wade Tremblay, general manager of Wade Apartments, who said that he could understand Stilling's dismay. Still, he claims, he would be "opening Pandora's box" if he were to let Stilling cancel his new lease, since other tenants might follow suit.
Tremblay lays blame on the University Foundation, UVA's real estate wing, which now owns the building and, he says, was slow to decide what they wanted to do with the Brandon Avenue properties. When they finally decided to keep them as apartments, at least for the next year or so, Tremblay says, the Foundation asked whether Wade Apartments would care to manage them, and Wade declined.
Tim Rose, Foundation CEO, says he wasn't aware of the situation with Stilling, but promised to look into it.
So it looks like Stilling will indeed be packing to move. Let's hope that UVA does a better job of deciding and communicating its plans for future residents.
Sears joins "culture" club
My columns focused on employee reluctance to answer phones that started ringing whenever I showed up to buy yet more appliances (which I've been doing since September, when I began remodeling two apartments in my house). Held reported that Sears had already launched an overhaul of customer-service practices on the national level.
First, he says, management will have "culture conversations" with each associate, in which they'll sign an agreement to greet customers with a smile and thank them for their business; they'll also present a "clean and professional" image: and answer telephones after no more than three rings.
Each store will have a "culture experience manager" who will cruise the store to be sure customers are being waited on properly. Finally, the manager on duty will carry a cordless phone at all times, and unanswered calls, to all departments, will roll over to it.
So, readers, what do you think? Have you noticed an upgrade in customer service at Sears?

Feb. 19— (UP)— The House ordered at $50,000 inquiry into all old age pension movements by a vote of 240 to * today after members spent an hour condemning Dr. Francis E. Townsend as a social "Charlatan" and "quack" whose plan is "a racket to exploit the poor." Three republicans and one democrat opposed the investigation on rising vote. They were republicans Vits Marcantonio, R., N. Y., Karl Stefan, R., Neb., Usher L. Burdick, R.. N. D., and Theodore L. Moritz, D., Pa. The vote came after republican John S. McGroaty, D" Cal.. and other acknowledged townsendites had approved the proposed inquiry. Bell Named Chairman Representative Jasper Bell, D., Mo., author of the resolution, who roared a 30 minute denunciation of the Townsend movement today, will be chairman of the committee of eight which will make the inquiry. He said he did not believe the legislation was broad enough to include the activities of the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin's national union for social justice and that he would not investigate this organization unless the House specifically demanded it The investigation is expected to cost $50,000. The committee is empowered to delve into every activity of promoters of old age pension schemes. Including a search of books, papers, records and data on collections and expenditures. "Pressure Groups" Hit It was the second time in 48 hours the House struck at the so-called "pressure groups" which seek to influence legislation. Yes terday two Catholic leaders—R# presentative John J. O'Connor, D., N. Y" and Pat Boland, D.. Pa.,— scorchingly denounc ed Father Coughlin for his political activities. Bell. Slight, erect-gray-haired, opened the attack today. "The late years of the depression, with widespread human want, suffering, and unemployment have been a fertile field in which false prophets of social reform have promoted their schemes and rackets, representing vast sums in unholy profits at the expense of tens of thousands of good and faithful but deluded followers," Bell said.

Sinclair Lewis' Books Will Be Lecture Topic "The Novel of Protest,H in which the works of Sinclair Lewis will be discussed, is the topic of a free literary lecture to be given by Prof. John D. Cooke, chairman of the English department, this after' noon at 4:15 o'clock ln 206 Administration. In his talk, Professor Cooke said that he will define and briefly trace the course of the novel of protest during the last 40 years, showing how Sinclair Lewis may be classified in this type of novel A syntheseis of Lewis' writings will be made. It will also be told how the novels fall into three distinctive periods. The formative, the time of success, and last the decline, in which the well known American author "flounders about," will be clarified by the lecturer. The lecture this afternoon is the first of a literary series of public lecturers and concerts to be given this semester on the S. C. campus. Thorton Wilder, author of "The Bridge of San Luis Rey," and "The Women of Andros," is scheduled to speak March 5, on "The Motion Pictures and Literature."

C. L. A.. 1935 Pacific Coast champions, Homer Bejl and Arthur Groman wiU debate affirmatively on the question, Resolved: that congress should have the power by a two-thirds majority to override decisions of the supreme court declaring acts of congress unconstitutional, in the first local platform decision debate of the year at 8 o'clock tonight in Bovard auditorium. Clarence Chang, Hawaiian champion debator, and Bob North, former S. C. debator known as an outstanding debate humorist to his former team-mates who will oppose him tonight, compose the visiting team from the islands. Admission Free The event, which is free to the students body and the general public, will be judge by W. H. Head, Venice high school debate coach; W. D. Root, Jefferson high school debate coach; and Will T. Newton, Manual Arts high school economics instructor. The chairman for the evening nas not been selected yet, according to Debate Manager James Kirkwood. "Because of the timeliness of the subject in the light of the recent supreme court decisions," Kirkwood said yesterday, "in addition to the fact the team is from Hawaii and contains one former S. C. student, the debate should have a wide general appeal." Prominence Achieved Chang has achieved prominence at the University of Hawaii not only in the field of forensics as a debator, extemporaneous speaker and debate manager but in the student body government as a member of the student council and president of the Chinese fraternity. North, who is attending the island institution on an exchange scholarship between the two schools, won reknown on the Trojan varsity debate squad before transferring and since his stay ta Hawaii has become the territory's champion debator.

Groman, who is captain of this year's debate squad, is a member of the legislative council, an Ames cup winner and a Bowen cup winner, and a Phi Beta Kappa. Military Regime Is Evident Policy Will Be To Promote Welfare, Make Just Peace Agreement ASUNCION, Paraguay, Feb. 19— (UP)—Col. Rafael Franco, Chaco war hero and leader of the armed movement which deposed president Eusebio Ayala Monday, tonight assumed the provisional presidency of Paraguay. Franco immediately moved into the government palace where he began efforts to form a cabinet. The new president earlier had ! returned from a brief exile in Buenos Aires where he had been deported by the fallen government. He was received at the airport in Campo Grande, five miles outside Asuncion, by a large crowd. Col. Federico Smith, cavalry officer, who led the revolt in Franco's absence, headed the army officers who greeted him. Leftism Indicated The fact that Franco was accompanied on his return by Jover Peralta, left-wing leader and former national deputy, and Nery Huerta, coupled with a manifesto to the people and a statement by Franco himself, indicated leftist tendencies of the new government. Peralta and Huerta were exiled in October, 1931, when a short-lived civil movement forced president Jose P. Guggiari to delegate powers to vice-president Emiliano Bonzales Navero. Before Franco's, assumption of the presidency, the successful military officers sought to form a triumvirate^of army men to govern the country. It had been expected Franco would hoad such a junta. Manifesto Issued The revolutionists explained in a manifesto the reasons for the overthrow of the Ayala government and revealed their own plans for ruling the Republic. A statement signed by Franco but circulated ta the capital hours before his arrival declared the Chaco war was won "despite the government, despite the encyclopedic ineptitude of the military high command." The statement urged election of a government disposed to arrange a just peace with Bolivia, cede to homeless Paraguayans land now held by wealthy landowners, colonize the country with Paraguayans instead of "undesirable foreigners," grant subsidies to disabled veterans and war widows, protect small industries, impose taxes on large landowners and fix minimum wages and an eight-hour day.

Nagley of the College of Commerce is scheduled to read his address, "Government in Business," over station KRKD at 2:15 this afternoon.

"There are too many laws. Even a citizen who wishes to be law-abiding cannot keep abreast of the laws enough to know when he is on the right side." Stricter enforcement of the law and greater respect for it are seen as possible ways of helping the situation, according to Professor Nagley. Father Victor White of Loyola is to speak on the University of the Air program at 1:30 p. m. His subject will be "When Religions Cooperate, What Happens?" E. L.

A tour to Europe and the Olympic games under the direction ot Troy's own track coach, Dean Bartlett Cromwell, is the opportunity offered every Trojan student planning a vacation ta the continent this summer. Cromwell, an assistant mentor of the American Olympic team, is conducting a tour for athletes, students, sports fans, and coaches who plan to visit the llth Olympiad in Berlin from August 1st to 16th. The party will sail from New York with the American Olympic team on the S. S.

Cocnran, 1225 W. 39th street, who 3tated last night that students planning the trip should make their steamship deposits with either Cromwell or himself before midnight Sunday lest they be subject to a raise in steamship rates. Agreement Hinted By Italy-Germany ROME. Feb. 19. — <ILE> — Negotiations which may result in Italo-German agreement on a joint policy towards the Locarno treaty when France ratifies the Franco-Soviet mutual assistance pact, are under way in Rome and Berlin. Erich von Hassell, German ambassador, who conferred with Ado!? Hitler ta Munich on February 14. left for Berlin yesterday after seeing Fulvio Suvich. Italian underminister of foreign affairs. It is believed he bears Premier Benito Mussolini's answer to Hitler's questions regarding Italy's attitude toward the Franco-Soviet alliance. Neutral diplomats believe Mussi-lini is so anxious to obtain German friendship he might make considerable concessions in order to harmonize Italy's attitude towards the Locarno treaty with that of Germany. In addition to discussions witn German diplomats, Italy is working for an agreement with Austria. Poland, and the Danubian states, tt was reported reliably. There was no intimation of a general agreement, and separate understandngf between Italy and the other states were believed sought. Under the Locarno treaty. Italy, Germany, Great Britain, France, and Belgium agreed to extend mutual protection against an aggressor. Mussolini talked with the Polish ambassador today and Suvich conferred with Egon Berger-Waldenegf, Austrian foreign minister.

30th anniversary of Colts departure (3-28-84)
Need to 'set the record straight' about what led to that notorious move. There are too many misconceptions both inside and outside of Maryland. The ones in Indianapolis are not important enough to consider since their confusion about the legacy of the Baltimore Colts has always been well deserved.
First and foremost, the drop in attendance in Baltimore was never the result of disinterest. It was instead a PROTEST of the incredible mismanagement of the organization under Robert Irsay. Its purpose was to persuade Irsay to sell the franchise and, thereby, AVOID the embarrassment of moving a national icon out of its domain. Of course, the rest of the country saw it instead as Baltimore's embarrassment.
On the other hand, the move was inevitable. From the very beginning, Irsay was in hot pursuit of the sweetheart deal to move elsewhere. His lawyer-partner (Chernoff) perceived the constant threat of a move as effective leverage to negotiate a new, costly and unnecessary venue to replace Memorial Stadium (less than 20 years old). When the City Council refused to 'knuckle under', they eventually made the kind of 'mistake' that Chernoff was hoping for: legal action to attempt an eminent domain takeover (i.e., a desperate attempt to separate Irsay from his property and thereby prevent its relocation). In retrospect, what the action really accomplished was the accelerated expulsion of Irsay's abuse of my hometown. Once he 'sunk his claws' into the organization it was doomed. Well within the 11 years, he transformed the best NFL franchise into, by far, the worst.
But the real 'tragedy' of the post-move era was the naive efforts of Baltimore politicians in using the courts to force the franchise to return. Ownership is ownership. And because those efforts took the place of a far more important consideration, old Baltimore Colt fans quietly suffer EVERY DAY the indignity of having THEIR Colts name and image represent another city. Moreover, and far more important, Baltimore's heritage and its place in twentieth-century American history suffer simply because the Colts uniform hasn't been retired and returned to its origin ... now thirty years and counting.
Re: 30th anniversary of Colts departure (3-28-84)
I was 23. These were my impressions at the time.
1. It became obvious to any fan that reasonably followed the Baltimore Colts that Robert Irsay did absolutely nothing to improve the Colts for 6 years on purpose - so that attendance would decrease and he would have a readily available excuse to move the team.
2. New construction was at a low in the early 80's and the City did not have the money to build a Stadium. I knew a lot of folks in the construction biz at the time and they weren't working much.
3. I talked with alot of fans at the time about going to the games because it was obvious to me this guy Irsay was gonna split. There were two big impressions I got from talking to folks:
a. A surprising number of fans were still pissed that Johnny U was traded and thought no one would ever be as good as Johnny U and if Johnny U wasn't out there they weren't going to the games. And this was 10 year after John went to SD.
b. Even if the City had the money to build the stadium, nobody wanted to give anything to this drunken jerk who was obviously trying to hold Baltimore hostage right in front of everybody while deliberately letting the team go down the tubes and I quote:
"It's not your team it's MY g-damn team!"
"I'm not moving the g-damn team"
"I don't have the money to re-sign Curtis Dickey"
4. I went to a lot of games (that I normally couldn't afford) the last 4 years because a lot of Memorial Stadium ushers hung out at our neighborhood bar. They'd tell you what gate to go to, slip 'em 4 bucks and sit anywhere. The place was half empty. Nobody wanted to pay Irsay a dime. We usually sat in the upper deck in the closed end of the horseshoe where Big Wheel was. Almost every game people chanted "IRSAY SUCKS!" Right before the last game of 1983, Robert Irsay announced that he had no intention of re-signing 1,000 yard rusher Curtis Dickey, the ONLY star on the ENTIRE team, even though he had all offseason to work something out smfh. He fuckin hated us and it was as obvious as the bright red alcoholic fuckin beak he called a fuckin nose on his fat pimply fuckin face.
5. At the last game, Curtis Dickey ran for a hundred yards. Andrew Lucks daddy threw a couple INT's and we beat the Houston Oilers. Big Wheel tried to get everybody to chant "We Want Dickey!" but it kept changing to "IRSAY SUCKS! IRSAY SUCKS!" It sounded like 100,000 people were there. We all knew he was gone. The fans talked about it on the ramps out of the stadium. Everybody knew Irsay was going to move the team. And even though it was obvious I was still in shock when I woke up that March morning and our team was gone.
6. At the time I thought Irsay ran out in the middle of the night AND THEN the City sued for emminent domain. Then I heard the dick Chernoff used it as an excuse to run. Later I heard the City sued and Chernoff told Irsay and they hauled ass. Then people blamed the City for trying it and they said that's why Irsay left. There are other folks who knew Irsay and they knew Irsay wanted to leave Baltimore almost from the first day he ever came here.
In summation: I know some of our politicians screwed up. I know a lot of our fans gave up. But more than that, I know that Robert Irsay purposefully and with great malice destroyed one of the greatest and most successfull and most beloved sports franchises in the history of sports just so he could have his own way. He broke a hundred thousand hearts and his POS son named an enormous price to return the name, colors and history to Baltimore. Sadly it is way too late now. Both cities have won Super Bowls. At the end of this season the Indy Colts will have existed for 31 seasons - same as the Baltimore Colts - 31 years deeply beloved in the hearts of hundreds of thousands of Baltimoreans. Our neighbors. Our friends. Our family. Nothing even close to that will ever exist again.
There were mistakes made on all sides, but even in the face of massive opposition from the NFL, Baltimore has recovered very nicely. The Irsay family however, remains a disgrace.
That's all i have to say about that.

Re: 30th anniversary of Colts departure (3-28-84)
It's never too late to demand justice (i.e., retiring the Colts name or returning it to Baltimore). I believe that it will happen one day in the hopefully not too distant future. I personally don't think it is necessary to replace the Ravens legacy with that of the Colts, but retiring the Colts name is a priority with me. I don't care how long the team has been in Indianapolis, it is an affront that needs to remedied. Making changes at the NFL Hall of Fame would not correct the problem.
Re: 30th anniversary of Colts departure (3-28-84)
I doubt it ever happens. As much as we don't like it, teams move. Brooklyn wasn't happy when the Dodgers left, and Deacon Jones never played a down for St. Louis. As pissed as I was when our beloved Colts left, it is what it is and life goes on.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely inexplicable
There is another theory which states that this - has - already - happened

Massachusetts has been producing cranberries for 200 years but the state is falling behind in terms of production to Wisconsin and Quebec.
According to The Massachusetts Cranberry Revitalization Task Force Final Report for the 2016, Massachusetts has fallen behind in production as a result of lack of capital, in addition to costs of production increasing as well as less productive bogs.
"We were the kings," said Jack Angley, who has owned Flax Pond Farms in Carver for 49 years with his wife, Dorothy.
Cranberries in Massachusetts have been the No. 1 agricultural food crop in the commonwealth, with over 13,500 acres of cranberry bogs across the state.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's annual crop report for 2016, released Friday, shows a 12 percent decrease in the Massachusetts cranberry harvest. Although the state is in no danger of falling out of second place, Wisconsin's production is expected to increase 7 percent. Quebec, which has been growing cranberries for just 20 years, is still behind Massachusetts, but closing fast.
The national crop is expected to be flat at 8.6 million barrels.
Angley's farm covers 100 acres of land, 34 acres of which are used for cranberry growing. Much of the other land is used for growing Christmas trees for locals during the holiday season. The cranberries grown at Flax Pond Farms are used for Ocean Spray Cranberries, whose headquarters are in Middleboro.
Because there is no running water on Angley's property, he has had to rely heavily on recycling rainfall in order to maintain his cranberry bogs.
This year marks the 200th anniversary of commercial cranberry production in Massachusetts and Carver is the states' largest cranberry producer with over 2,500 acres of cranberry bogs, covering 48 percent of Carver's total land.
Within the past 50 years, however, Wisconsin, in particular, has become known for its cranberry production.
"They (Wisconsin) are a farming community," said Angley. "They're known for farming."
Domingo Fernandes has been the owner of Fresh Meadows Farm in Carver for 36 years. His farm, which covers roughly 150 acres, produces mostly organic cranberries."Rhapsody in Red: 200 Years of Massachusetts Cranberries," an exhibit by the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers' Association, will run Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 8-9, at A.D. Makepeace Company's Cranberry Harvest Celebration, 158 Tihonet Road, Wareham.
Fernandes notes that it's been a struggle for southeastern Massachusetts, where many of the early cranberry bogs started out in the swamps, which have dried up over time.
"We're having to find ways to mirror what they've done," said Fernandes in regards to Wisconsin and Quebec. "We're playing catch-up."
Last year, Quebec produced 4.6 million barrels of cranberries while Wisconsin produced around 4.6 million barrels. In 2014, Massachusetts produced less than 1.9 million barrels compared to Wisconsin's 4.9 million barrels and Quebec's 2.4 million barrels.
"It's market forces at work. It's obviously forcing the changes that are taking place here," said Fernandes.
Matt Rhodes, who purchased the 800-acre Edgewood Bogs in Carver in 2005, reconstructed his bogs in order to better manage production.
"Over the past several years, more than 40 percent of our bogs have been renovated with hybrid vines to further insure our buyers of a premium quality berry," said Rhodes
According to The Massachusetts Cranberry Revitalization Task Force final report, Massachusetts has fallen behind in production of cranberries as a result of lack of capital, costs of production increasing as well as less productive bogs.
"The cranberry industry is a vital part of the environment and economy of southeastern Massachusetts," said Gov. Charlie Baker. "Through the recommendations in this plan, we can work with stakeholders and the Legislature to address the challenges the cranberry industry faces and strengthen the industry for years to come."

Summary and Keywords
Various therapeutic discourses on trauma claim that a successful working through of a traumatic experience amounts to forgiveness and the victim's reconciliation with the past. Recently, several voices have been raised against this claim, arguing that refusal to forgive is a sort of moral dignity, a defense of the victim's integral subjectivity, and a moral protest against the unjustifiable evils and wrongdoings the victim has suffered. Among the emotions the victim is left with after the traumatic experience and after the reluctance to forgive the perpetrators and get along with life are, of course, anger, hate, indignation, depression, humiliation, and shame. An additional and far more complex emotion that characterizes the posttraumatic experience is ressentiment.
Forgiveness and ressentiment are discussed as moral stances against evils and traumas. The basic tenets are: (1) the link between agency, forgiveness, and memory; (2) the moral nature of ressentiment as a Schelerean concept that parts company not only from resentment (qua moral indignation) but also from grudges and envy; (3) the dismembering of forgiveness and ressentiment premised not on the victim's resistance to dealing with the past (or moral hypermnesia), as is usually thought, but on the process of transvaluation inherent in ressentiment, which places forgiveness beyond the victim's hermeneutic horizon.
Keywords: memory, justice, apology, vengeance, retribution, cultural trauma, difficult forgiveness, ressentiment, resentment, morality, moral, posttraumatic experience

I have a problem of concatenating alphabet.
I initially gave alphabets numeric value (e.g a=10, b=11) accordingly.
Now i want to concatenate these vales. I have kept all these values
in the database, what can i do to make use of the MySQL database to
bring the values out and use them for concatenation in order to form
a word.
Concatenation of a word like "baby" (11+10+11+35) brings 11101135.
How do i do it?
Thank you very much

Our ward trunk or treat was on 10/22 and the kids were SO excited!! Ellie was Ariel and we couldn't have her be Ariel without red hair!! I attempted to blow dry it straight which didn't work out too well but everyone thought she had a wig on =)
Cayden was SET on being a train crossing, so since those are no where to be found, we had to make it. He loved it!!
There was a room where you touch and feel things like brains, or fingers. Cayden was the only one brave enough to try it.
Our little sleeping beauty..
Grammy, Auntie Julie and Uncle Scott joined in on the fun as well...
The kids got a bunch of candy and everyone had a blast!

If you're looking for some vintage Valentine inspiration, you came to the right place!
These cute designs were created using the Retro Valentine digital set from
Taylormadecards4u .
I used the cutting and assembly instructions from Club Scrap's January 2019 card kit to create these fun step up cards!
Isn't this little pup adorable?! I added some twine to the image for some fun dimension. I tried to adhere it with some glue, but it would't hold. Glossy Accents to the rescue! Funny how I didn't see that thumbprint I left in the glue until I photographed the card…
I think this card is my favorite! I stamped the mini hearts and fussy cut with Cutter Bee scissors and attached with strips of clear plastic film for a pop up feature.
This sweet little guy needed a mini bow tie and I added some glitter glue to his Valentine.
Click HERE to see more inspiration from the TMC4u design team and be sure to visit Monica Taylor's Etsy store for more vintage digital designs!

Working together to bring relief to our fellow Americans!
Jan 21, 2010
Has it really been a year since Jane started this site? We went from just a few of us who gathered here to exchange ideas on how to bring relief to rural Alaska, to having hundreds of people visiting here every day brainstorming both short and long term solutions to the issues that face rural Alaska.
We remember in the beginning when we first got excited that we had more visitors than board members. Today we have someone visiting AB on average every 6 minutes!
What has brought nearly 100,000 hits to Anonymous Bloggers this first year? Let us review. Please feel free to wander the side bar and the archives to see everything we've been doing.
Here's the time-line Jane created with a lot of hard work and patience.

The crisis in rural Alaska came to light when Nicholas Tucker presented a letter to Fuel Summit Participants sharing the stories of people in his village who were suffering. His story was picked up by regional news outlets and eventually became headline news in Alaska.
Emmonak man seeks food airlift to combat economic crisis
A combination of extreme cold and high fuel prices has created a humanitarian crisis for the village of Emmonak, according to resident Nicholas Tucker.

January 14, 2009
One of our local progressive media heroes, Dennis Zaki of The Alaska Report, is stepping up trying to raise money to get to Emmonak and other villages to put a camera where it needs to be. Many national and international media outlets are interested in seeing footage. Flights are not inexpensive, and he'll be traveling on his own dime.

Alaska's Rural Villages in Crisis – Update.
The Mudflats
January 17, 2009 Thanks to generous contributions to the effort, many coming from Mudflatters, Dennis Zaki of The Alaska Report has raised enough money to pay for travel to Emmonak and other remote villages, to talk to locals on camera, and capture footage for use by the national media. Dennis needed $2000 for his ticket, and will distribute the rest for energy relief when he arrives in the bush. As of this writing, there is $6283. in the account!
AnnS left a comment on Margaret& Helen's blog (a blog that went viral in the fall when Helen made one of many on-target assessments of Sarah Palin's character) saying that the crisis was more widespread. More people jumped into help.

January 17, 2009 at 4:45 PM
Hi everyone,
I was asked to come here and blog. I have been blogging on themudflats.net about how it isn't just Emmonak that is struggling.
It's not just Emmonak that is struggling it's the entire Yukon Delta. I live in Nunam Iqua, a village that is 25 miles south of Emmonak. Not only are we faced with the same issues as Emmonak but also our crisis is harder because we no longer have a store here. Our trading post collapsed several months ago, so we have no place here to get groceries.
January 21, 2009
The attention the crisis in rural Alaska was receiving in the comments section on Helen & Margaret's blog caused complaints by some who thought the conversation was to far off-topic. Information about ways to help were strewn across the comments section of a number of blogs – it need a clearinghouse.

Sustainable Gardening Becomes a Topic
The last few weeks in February brought some lively chatter in our Cold Weather Gardening threads. We were looking for sustainable solutions to life in the bush and got plenty of ideas and suggestions. Victoria answered many questions about garden tunnels and potatoes as a traditional staple; her growing season and tomatos and the 90 one-day-old chicks she was raising for summer egg production.
She told us privately she had been trying to get funds from the Ugashik and Pilot Point Village Councils to attend a sustainable gardening conference in Fairbanks to help start a community garden in Pilot Point but had not been successful.
We asked you to come up with creative ways to get her there.

L.Gardener stepped up and offered to pay for my plane ticket so it would be a 'for sure' thing. Then as people contributed we could gather funds and reimburse her. That is now done with a number of people from all over jumping in to help defray the cost. She shares some of the things she learned in her garden journal.
Victoria is a powerhouse! This post is a must-read to get an idea of her energetic enthusiasm in pursuing a more stable and richer life for Native Alaskans. By the end of it she's already talking about her next project – the salmon bycatch issue!
Emmonak's Nicholas Tucker rips Sarah Palin for "disrespect"

Salmon Bycatch in the Pollock Fisheries
Our first post about the devastating effects salmon bycatch in the pollock fishing industry was having on the the salmon fisheries rural Alaskans depend on for winter sustenance.
We called for people to write letters to the North Pacific Fishery Management Council, which would be meeting in Anchorage April 1-7, demanding they call for a lower bycatch number than the one they were considering. We posted a petition and collected signatures from people from across the US and Canada and as far away as Germany who endorsed a lower bycatch. They were delivered by hand before the March 25 deadline for comments.

Unusually early break-up on the Ugashik River
Normally it is right around the very end of April or the first of May before we start to see holes in the ice or the river flowing.
We usually go through days or even a week or more of open holes and areas of water. Then some breaking up of the river. We woke up Sunday morning, after a night of some winds in the 20-30 knot range and the river was flowing some.
Hubby, who grew up in the village does not ever remember it going from basically solid to flowing like this.

First the bad news…
Out of Fuel in Nunam Iqua
Ann reported that Nunam Iqua's fuel/stove oil tank had run dry. This happened because the early fall freeze in 2008 prevented their last fuel order from being delivered.
The next day, with the food drive slowing down, she and Victoria gave us a detailed update on the situations in their villages. This post offers another glimpse of the monumental task Ann and Vic undertook to help their fellow villagers and the extent to which people from all over pitched in to help.
May 6,2009
In a conversation Victoria brought up to Ann how busy she was getting ready for the fishing season, and they were in need of a good crew member for summer. After hearing how mostly nonexistent the commercial fishing on the Yukon would be this year, Segundo and Ann decided to take the offer and leave Nunam Iqua to spend the fishing season in Ugashik.

Emmonak villager demands apology from Palin camp
Posted by thevillage
Posted: June 30, 2009
What was that good news? I asked Palin's spokeswoman, Sharon Leighow, today in an e-mail.
"The good news – At the Federal Subsistence meeting in Emmonak last week, Nick Tucker reported that 50 percent of the residents have met subsistence needs and other 50 percent are confident they will meet their needs," Leighow replied.
(Tucker drew statewide and national attention this winter when he wrote a letter describing a food and fuel crisis on the lower Yukon.)
Here's where it gets complicated. Tucker says he never said that and is demanding a public apology from the governor's camp.
"I want them to take it back," Tucker said in a short phone interview today.

John Moller: I talked to many, many people over those two days
The Alaska Daily News rural blog, The Village, interviewed John Moller, Sarah Palin's rural advisor, on Wednesday. They we're specifically interested in the display of civil disobedience in Marshall but, since Moller was just back in the office after being out of cell phone range while fishing, he couldn't address that so they talked about other rural issues including the Governor's tweet about Emmonak.

AnnS Aired Rural Woes Internationally
Monday, August 3, 2009 – Salmon Ban on the Yukon River: (listen)
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game has banned commercial fishing for king salmon along the Yukon River and is limiting subsistence fishing. The ban is in response to the state not meeting their treaty agreement with Canada for the past two years to deliver 45,000 kings via the Yukon. But groups of Native fishermen are ignoring the ban – facing possible jail time, heavy fines and equipment seizure. How will village residents make it through another tough winter if they're not allowed to fish this summer? Guest is AnnS from the village of Nunam Iqua.

Ann Writes an Open Letter to Rural Advisor John Moller
…During the program, moderator Harlan McKosato mentioned that he put in a call to you before the show but never got a call back.
Because rural Alaskans are openly voicing their serious fears about the coming winter, we were disappointed that you were not involved in the conversation with Ann and Nick on the air. Rural Alaskans need to know advisors have the ear of Governor Parnell and need to believe that the governor realizes today that things may be even worse this winter for rural Alaskan villages than the previous one….

Legislature overrides Palin's stimulus veto By SEAN COCKERHAM

The Alaska Legislature voted Monday to override former Gov. Sarah Palin's veto of $28 million in federal stimulus money for energy cost relief. But it was as close as a vote can get.
(snip) Palin vetoed the appropriation of $28 million in federal energy stimulus cash in May, two months before she resigned as governor.
She kept up her fight against the money by posting a message on her Facebook page Sunday.
"As governor, I did my utmost to warn our legislators that accepting stimulus funds will further tie Alaska to the federal government and chip away at Alaska's right to chart its own course.

We will have been a forced to be reckoned with, because I think, many of us are beginning to turn to God, and we might just rule with justice, goodness, fairness, and generosity again, but educated…"

…Although with another non existent salmon fishing season on the Yukon and winter fast approaching I am worried that this winter will in fact be worse than last winter.

Another Open Letter From Ann to Governor Parnell, John Moller and Others
…Not only is the lack of both subsistence and commercial fishing, greatly diminishing our ability to put away fish for the winter but also the lack of funds brought in from commercial fishing is now making it hard, if not impossible, for rural Alaskans to put away other subsistence game.
Moose season is now. The birds are flying now. Now is the time to be out hunting for seals and whales. All of these types of game are critical for us to survive this winter. If we cannot purchase gas to go out and hunt then I fear this winter we will have a crisis of much greater proportions than last winter. Last winter we were able to depend a little bit on other game that we had put up for the winter since we were lacking fish.
It looks like this winter that option will not be available to many rural Alaskans because they simply cannot afford the gas and other necessities required to go out hunting…

Fall Sea Ice Flood in Nunam Iqua Leave Residents Struggling
The flooding wreaked havoc on the Yukon River ice. The flooding brought in massive amounts of sea ice from the Bering Sea that unfortunately is still clogging the Yukon. Several people lost their fishing nets they had set under the ice and a couple of families even lost their boats during the flood.
With all of this sea ice still in the Yukon River at Nunam Iqua it has caused a hardship on the residents. Normally during the winter families will go out onto the river and place fishing nets under the ice to catch fresh fish. But due to the mess of sea ice currently in the Yukon this has become very difficult if not impossible to do now. Fresh fish caught under the ice with nets is a large staple for families during the winter.
Since Ann is spending this winter in Ugashik, she is gathering information for promoting an adopt-a-family program in Nunam Iqua to match donors and families directly.

Alaska Federation of Natives calls for Native and rural subsistence priority on all Alaska lands
By Alex Demarban
The Arctic Sounder
The Alaska Federation of Natives lays out an ambitious agenda that seeks to expand hunting and fishing rights for Alaska Natives as part of the first-ever review of the federal subsistence program in Alaska.
In a letter to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar offering ways to improve the program, the statewide Native organization draws on historical arguments and legal precedent to make the case that all Natives, as well as rural residents, deserve priority over other hunters and fishermen.
Salazar announced the review in October.
The Jan. 7 letter, signed by AFN President Julie Kitka, also asks that the rural subsistence priority be applied to all land and waters in Alaska as Congress originally intended.

From Governor Parnell's news release:
State of Alaska > Governor > News > News Details Federal Fisheries Disaster for Yukon Chinook Printer Friendly FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE No. 10-010
Secretary Locke Declares Federal Fisheries Disaster for Yukon Chinook January 15, 2010, Anchorage, Alaska –
Governor Sean Parnell today welcomed a decision by Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke finding that a disaster has occurred with the 2009 Yukon River chinook salmon run, opening the door for federal aid to the area. "I appreciate Secretary Locke's recognition of the severity of the situation along the Yukon River and the dependence of Alaskans on these salmon runs," Governor Parnell said. The federal disaster declaration is in response to requests made by Governor Parnell, the Association of Village Council Presidents and the Alaska Federation of Natives. The request detailed the biological and economic situation on the Yukon River and the impacts of the reduced chinook runs. The declaration does not bring immediate aid to the affected area. The congressional delegation must still secure a federal appropriation. Federal aid, once secured, could be used for relief programs, stock research, training programs, fisheries infrastructure, or other regional projects.

The potential for widespread fires continues, with no significant relief to the dry conditions in sight. However, Sunday warrants heightened alert, with National Weather Service forecasters anticipating an opportunity for damages not seen since April 9, 2009 when more than 100,000 acres burned leaving over 200 homes destroyed.
On Sunday, fires will be especially hard to contain with winds expected at 30 to 40 mph and gusts upwards of 50 to 60 mph. Under these conditions even downed power lines could spark a potential flame.
In advance of Sunday's forecast, Gov. Fallin has extended the State of Emergency she first declared for the wildfires on March 11. She is also is working with State Emergency Management officials who remain ready to ramp up activities at the State Emergency Operations Center as necessary. National Guard helicopters equipped with buckets to provide water drops remain on standby. Additionally, Oklahoma Forestry Services Task Forces are staged and ready for mobilization as needed. There are currently 47 counties under a burn ban.
"Our emergency personnel and first responders are on standby and preparing for dangerous conditions this weekend," said Fallin. "I am encouraging all our citizens to be alert and to pay close attention to the weather in their area."
